Recorded in 1957 when Lee Morgan was just 19 years old, The Cooker captures the trumpet prodigy stepping confidently into the spotlight with a dynamic quintet. Following his celebrated work on John Coltrane’s Blue Train only weeks earlier, Morgan leads an all-star lineup including Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones, Pepper Adams, and Bobby Timmons on this vibrant Blue Note session.

The Cooker is a showcase of Morgan’s fiery technique and inventive voice, especially on standout tracks like “A Night in Tunisia.” This release from the Blue Note Tone Poet Series is mastered from the original tapes, offering fans and jazz collectors the opportunity to experience a classic session that marks a pivotal moment in Morgan’s remarkable career.
